F#                      Bb 
you should see yourself  
F#                         Bb 
when will you grow up? 
F#                      C#                  B                   F# 
every knob you twist on that machine is like a crutch  
F#                      Bb 
but i was just the fool 
F#                        Bb  
you'd been waiting for 
F#                       Bb  
who says we can't touch ourselves 
    C#             B            F#  
to keep from getting bored? 
C#                      B                       F#  
nothing else is touching, that's for sure  

B                               F# 
a ring around the roses  

F#                      Bb 
i will watch you play 
F#                       Bb  
i come here every night 
F#                      C#               B                      F#  
it's just me the bartender the waitress and the lights 
C#                   B                  F# 
shining on you not getting it right 
C#                      B                 F# 
we clap not for you, but for your kind  

B 
a ring around the roses  
F# 
everybody poses  
B 
threats and then backs down  
F# 
the second you put clothes on  
B 
a ring around the roses  
F# 
everybody knows it  
B 
i will sing your fears  
F# 
if you sing my neurosis  

F#                          Bb 
you should back out now 
F#                      Bb 
not a night too soon 
F#                      C#                      B                       F# 
i'll still be here when the last poor soul has left the room 
C#                          B                      F# 
standing round just like a good friend should  
C#              B                       F# 
smiling as if your songs were good  

B 
a ring around the roses  
F# 
everybody poses  
B 
threats and then backs down  
F# 
the second you put clothes on  
B 
a ring around the roses

everybody knows it  
B 
i will sing your fears  
F# 
if you sing my neurosis  

F#                        Bb 
and i sat there for hours  
F#                   Bb 
waiting on the curb 
F#                        C#                B                   F# 
thinking you might like a flower from a pretty girl  
C#                      B                        F# 
a ring around the waitress from the verse  
C#                 B                      F# 
a ring of fire around the roses' door  
C#              B                       F# 
put it on before you lose your nerve  
C#                      B                  F# 
put your hands together and i'll hurt  
C#                        B                     F# 
make a sound that no one's ever heard  
C#                   B                  F# 
and i hope we get what we deserve.
